At such tracks no person shall enter a horse or participate in any running or harness horse race or meet as an owner, agent, nominator, trainer, jockey, jockey apprentice, or jockey agent within the state without having first procured from the commission a license so to act, and paying such fees as the commission may determine to be reasonable and proper. The commission, for proper cause, may issue a temporary license for a period not to exceed 10 days to any person to enable such person on behalf of an owner who is not present in this state to enter a horse or so participate in any running or harness horse race or meet. Such licenses may be revoked by the commission at any time for cause.
